gnarlsagan, you're next in line after vwinter. Once you've A/B'd both UERM & TFRM, I wonder if you could do a brief side-by-side comparison between the UERM & ER4S (doing your best to leave bias behind).

(I expect you not to use terms such a "musical", "realistic", "silly grin" or "serious frown", or any of those teeny-bopper emoticons — we, after all, are trying to get our results published by a serious, er, publication like The Daily Mail… with the tomscy2000 seal of approval, of course)

LOL :P

In all seriousness I will try to give a good comparison between the UERM and ER4S. Really looking forward to a/b'ing them.

I just want to come in here real quick and say that the TFRM is the most ridiculous IEM I have ever encountered in my life in terms of fit. If I so much as think about them funny it'll cause a channel imbalance and change the entire sound presentation.

With my general "it should just work" mindset, it's driving me up the wall.

I'll add in comparisons to 1p2 and KAEDE if anyone desires. Though that's not really the point of this experiment. But it might be useful for those looking to pick up a UERM. It's one that I have always considered.

Would love to get on this list myself; I have been longing for the UERM since hearing it briefly at the LA meet, but if these TF10s can compare...

^ I think it compares very well actually depending on what measures you use to define sound quality. There's really no point in comparing such an extensive mod though since the chance of it being made by someone for public consumption is pretty darn slim.

Package received. The UERM is much better than my previous experience led me to believe. Could have been fit or comply tips or that my listening abilities were less proficient then. I just ran a few tones and its remarkable how much what I'm hearing coincides with Rin's graph. I get a dip right under 3k and at 8k, and a peak right at 10k. Usually there is a little more variation but this one is right on the money. I seem to be getting very similar bass extension to the ER4S. Almost identical, although UERM bass extension may be able to be improved with a different fit. Will update soon with comparisons to the TFRM (and ER4S of course).

Update: TFRM treble peak is ~8.5k vs 10k on the UERM. Makes a noticeable difference in cymbals, and there's even a very slight increase in sibilance on the TFRM. The dip at 3k seems to be about the same on both iems, and bass is pretty similar too. No doubt the treble difference is due to fit. The TFRM is pretty absurdly shaped to go into an ear canal, and it doesn't get as deep as the UERM for me.
